Being Kind, Giving Grace

 

People can be so difficult
To deal with now and then,
But that has not changed over time.
That’s how it’s always been.
 
There have been days I want to hide
And just tell people, “No!”,
But we, His children, have been called
To give the grace we know.
 
Learning to be patient with all
Is what we’re called to do.
As He bears patiently with us
We’re to be patient, too.
 
That doesn’t mean we tolerate
Evil within our space,
But those who are walking with Him
Deserve to feel our grace.
 
Thus, when I feel I’m put upon,
I thank Him with true joy
For giving me another chance
To give grace I enjoy.
 
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Sorry for the poor resolution of this cowbird, perched on a cow. It was taken from across the road, through the wire fence on my cell phone, but it was too funny to skip over!
